LIGHTYENABLEMOD(1)                   General Commands Manual                   LIGHTYENABLEMOD(1)



NAME
       lighty-enable-mod, lighty-disable-mod - enable or disable configuration in lighttpd server

SYNOPSIS
       lighty-enable-mod [module]
       lighty-disable-mod [module]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the lighty-enable-mod and lighty-disable-mod commands.

       lighty-enable-mod  and  lighty-disable-mod are programs that enable (and respectively dis‐
       able) the specified configuration file within lighttpd configuration.

       Both programs can be run interactively or from command line. If either program  is  called
       without  any  arguments,  an  input prompt is displayed to the user, where he might choose
       among available lighttpd modules. Immediate action is taken, if a module name was given on
       the command line.


   EXIT STATUS
       Both  programs indicate failure in their exit status. lighty-enable-mod or lighty-disable-
       mod respectively may leave execution with one of the following exit codes:

       0    denotes success

       1    denotes a fatal error (e.g., a module could not be enabled, or a dependency  was  not
            found)

       2    denotes  a  minor  flaw (e.g., a module was not enabled because it was already loaded
            before)


       Note
       You can (un-) load several modules at time. The exit status will  only  reflect  the  most
       serious  issue  (where a minor flaw beats no error, but a fatal error beats a minor flaw).
       This means, if a minor flaw was encountered as well as a fatal  error,  the  program  will
       leave with exit status 1 and stop immediately.


DEPENDENCIES
       Debian  allows lighttpd modules to formulate dependencies to other modules they depend on.
       Configuration files are scanned for dependencies upon load or unload of  modules,  not  at
       runtime of the web server. Such a magic line has the following format:

         # -*- depends: module[, module] -*-


       and may appear anywhere in the file. If such a line is found, the extracted name is inter‐
       preted as dependency to another lighttpd module.  lighty-enable-mod  will  seek  available
       configurations  to  satisfy  this  dependency and will recursively enable all dependencies
       found on its way.  lighty-disable-mod will disable reverse dependencies recursively.
